Man, I'd PAY for a modern remake of SR2 that kept it basically as is but added better gfx/QoL stuff. That game was the peak of the series imo

And the later games don't have the septic truck mini game, so we are at an impasse....

I'm unclear what to do with this information. Are they suggesting suicide?

I'm a bit younger than you, but I've always taken that as a tongue on cheek comment that really doesn't have anything behind it other than bitterness at what their bodies/minds became. Usually from neglecting them and ignoring problems until they couldn't be ignored any more.

And I don't want to be exposed to religious people because their repression and preaching is a violation of my sensibilities. When can I ban them?

no reason why one can't just cover themselves up appropriately and avoid hurting others.

Your delicate sensibilities are not a reason to force someone to wear a shirt. If you're offended by the human body to the point where seeing a woman topless violates your sensibilities, maybe you should stay home?

The world shouldn't have to censor itself to save your feewings. But it's better that the religious prudes get to dictate how everyone else can live, because gods forbid they have to be the slightest bit uncomfortable.

Credit cards mean you do not have money, and you’re about to have even less.

Maybe, if you're bad with money. Treat the card as you would your debit card, and only spend what you know you have, and you'll be perfectly fine.

I've used a credit card for the vast majority of my purchases over the last 10-15 years, and money isn't a problem in the way you're implying. But I might also be a unicorn and I pay my card off multiple times a month, and have paid MAYBE 3 months of interest in that time.

My credit card is why I have a stellar credit score and was able to pull myself out of the poverty hole that I was born into. And I know for a fact that I gotten more from rewards than I ever paid in interest, so I've made money putting purchases on it.

Hell, I'd love to see them try their hand at an explanation before the AI text vomit. As long as it's mostly readable, I'd rather it be a bit stilted but honest rather than this crap.

I wonder if that's why my work PC has been having all kinds of stuttering/lag issues. I'm regularly seeing a second or two between clicking/typing at various points throughout the day.

Because we should encourage people to be smart enough to realize they're doing something dumb and ask someone to help or make sure they're doing things correctly.

The last thing we need in this world are more aggressively stupid people inordinately confident that they're doing shit right while doing nothing but fucking up.

I had to go to the student housing council or whatever when I had an international student take the room in my on campus apartment mid year while I was in college. Dude didn't speak English and my roommate and I were NOT paying for the damage some rich kid did because he couldn't clean up the water from the toilet and sink. Also, who the fuck wants to constantly deal with standing water in your bathroom??

It would be a massive shit show and would collapse rather quickly. Aside from how we've seen them 'contain' places like Portland, showing they don't have the skills they'd need to do it on a small scale, they literally don't have the manpower. From The Military Journal of Operations:

In the Winter 1995 edition of Parameters, James Quinlivan wrote an article (‘Force Requirements in Stability Operations’) arguing that force ratios are the best method for determining the appropriate force requirement. Quinlivan determined that a force ratio of 20 troops per 1,000 of the population is required for successful stabilization, which he defined as “[creating] an environment orderly enough that most routine civil functions could be carried out.”[ii] While Quinlivan’s study included peaceful post-war occupations, counterinsurgencies, stabilization, humanitarian and peacekeeping operations, he was the first to advocate that force ratios based on a country’s population were the best predictor for a successful stability operation.

For a population the size of the US at (rounding up to) 350M people, that requires 7M troops. Even dropping the 20% of people who don't live in or around big cities, you're still looking at 5.6M troops, and a fuckload of uncontrolled / uncontrollable land perfect for counter insurgency tactics. Given that the us has about 2.12M active and reserve troops, they'd have to more than double their ranks to be able to stand a chance at containing the urban areas of the US, and that's not counting anything else they need to do.

Rossman posted a video a while ago about how Microsoft updated their site without noting they updated it to gaslight their customers into thinking it's always said that.

There's a reason these companies are trying to kill the archive sites, it lets people call them on their bullshit.

Are you sure you didn't confuse wax paper for parchment paper? Because it sounds like you tried to bake with wax paper.

I've tried, but they ask all sorts of inappropriate questions like "whose blood is this" or "why do you have so many gallon zipper bags of blood"
